Story

 

I am donating my hair on the 01st of Febuary 2014, to create a wig for a child who has lost their hair through cancer or illness.

Along with my hair, I need to raise some lovely pennies as each wig costs around £350 to make.  I hope you can drop in a few pounds to support this wonderful charity and ensure my lovely hair does not just go in the bin!

Below is some information about the Little Princess Trust.

 

"Hannah was the original Little Princess.  Sadly she was diagnosed as having a Wilms tumour and after a brave battle, eventually died in June 2005.

After Hannah died, so many kind people offered help, financial and practical.  Hannah’s parents, Wendy & Simon decided that the most fitting way to use this help was to launch a charity dedicated to providing specialist children’s wigs.  Like so many Little Princesses, Hannah loved her hair and losing it was very traumatic.

At that time, finding high quality wigs for children was very difficult and only after a long search was a suitable company found which eventually made a wig for Hannah.  She very much enjoyed wearing her wig, particularly on special occasions. This company is now one of the Little Princess Trust’s many suppliers.

Since its inception, the charity has now helped over 1,200 boys and girls.  We work with suppliers throughout the UK and Ireland, all of whom supply beautiful wigs. We continue to look for new suppliers all the time."

Thankyou for your support!  And in case you were wondering, Yes their will be photos from the big day when it arrives!
